Geoscience Technician (Geotech)
Location: [City, State]
Job Type: [Full-Time / Contract]
Department: Subsurface / Exploration & Production
Reports To: Geoscience Manager / Senior Geoscientist
Position Overview
We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Geoscience Technician to support our subsurface consulting team in the exploration and development of oil and gas assets. This role is critical to ensure the quality, integrity, and accessibility of geological, geophysical, and petrophysical data used in technical evaluations and business decisions.
The ideal candidate brings strong data management skills, hands-on experience with subsurface datasets, and the ability to work across multiple platforms and disciplines, including industry data platforms such as Enverus and IHS.
Key Responsibilities
- Collect, organize, QC, and maintain geological, geophysical, and petrophysical datasets from internal and external sources.
- Extract, validate, and integrate well, production, and spatial data from industry databases (e.g., Enverus, IHS) into internal systems and interpretation workflows.
- Load, export, and manage seismic datasets across interpretation software and geologic databases.
- Transfer and integrate geosteering data (e.g., StarSteer) into geologic and subsurface databases.
- Perform data cleaning and standardization, including log aliasing, unit conversions, and curve splicing.
- Convert, digitize, and validate log and core data (LAS, raster logs, and other formats).
- Support mapping, cross-sections, and well correlation using interpretation software.
- Assist in preparing technical maps, figures, and presentations for internal and client deliverables.
- Manage spatial datasets and support GIS-based mapping and analysis.
- Maintain metadata, data lineage, and version control across all datasets.
- Collaborate with geoscientists and engineers to ensure timely and accurate data delivery.
Qualifications
Required:
- Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Geoscience, Geology, Geophysics, Petroleum Engineering, or related field.
- 7 years of experience in a geotechnical, geoscience, or subsurface data role within oil and gas.
- Proficiency with geoscience software (e.g., Petrel, GeoGraphix, Kingdom, Petra, or similar).
- Strong understanding of subsurface data types (LAS, raster logs, core data, seismic).
- Experience with data QC, organization, and standardization workflows.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and data handling tools.
- Strong attention to detail and communication skills.
Preferred:
- Experience with Kingdom and Petra interpretation platforms.
- Hands-on experience with seismic data loading, exporting, and management.
- Experience integrating geosteering platforms (e.g., StarSteer) with geologic databases.
- Experience using industry data platforms such as Enverus (DrillingInfo) and IHS Markit for data acquisition and validation.
- Experience with GIS software (ArcGIS or QGIS).
Work Environment
- Primarily office-based with occasional interaction with data vendors or field offices.
- Collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment.
Why Join Us
- Work on diverse and technically challenging subsurface projects.
- Collaborate with experienced geoscientists and engineers.
- Gain exposure to advanced data workflows and interpretation tools.
- Competitive compensation and benefits.
